The renderer in MuPDF is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. It renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a pixel for the highest fidelity in reproducing the look of a printed page on screen.

usage: mupdf [options] file.pdf

Manual

The main viewer application is mupdf. Left click to pan, right click to select and copy text. Hold down shift when scrolling to zoom. Your navigation history is saved when following links, use 'T' to go back.

It works in 4.3.*._________________adobe flash is rubbish!

We have improved the image scaling code. We now use an algorithm based on a Graphics Gem when downscaling images, and simple bilinear interpolation when magnifying images. The results are vastly improved legibility of documents which use images containing text. This includes documents created by scanning or photographing a physical document, but also many academic papers using type 3 bitmap fonts, such as those created by old versions of LaTeX.

MuPDF will now display PDF annotations when rendering a page.

Transparency support for blend modes and in particular soft masks has been improved, along with many bug fixes, improved conformance, and optimizations to the colorspace and function parsing code.

We can now read PDF documents using 256-bit encryption (AESv3).

The CMap data structures have been squeezed to reduce the memory footprint of the character map tables by about 500K. The CJK fallback font has also been updated to a newer version with more characters.

I was able to turn mupdf and all of the extras into one multicall binary:
mupdf pdfclean pdfdraw pdfextract pdfinfo pdfshow xpsdraw

I have also attached a patch for future use in case anyone else wants to give it a shot.

Note: this is not a pet, because I didn't include any gui for it - thus no desktop menu and nothing that overrides the existing defaultpdfviewer ... or defaultxpsviewer if we even had that ... so really this is for experimental use, for anyone wanting to do that _fun_ stuff

anybody have any success copying text in mupdf? you're supposed to right-drag to select, and then press enter or ctrl-c.

Selecting works, but cannot copy.

On lucid 5.2.8.

I'm searching for a pdf reader on which copy text works. Foxit hangs on trying to copy text. Lucid's PDF Reader does not allow text to be selected (the selection vanishes when you let go of the mouse button).

thanks!

--update, got the copy text feature with foxit for debian deb. No other pdf reader or version that i tried (including foxit installed by the puppy package mgr) allowed me to copy text.

then insert it with middle mouse button (or both simultaneously on a 2 button mouse)

there are 2 different types of "clipboards" and mupdf goes to the same one as console programs for whatever reason

No need for Ctrl C/Ctrl Ins
just highlight (why must it be with the right mouse button? they use the left for navigation, which kind of sucks).
Then middle-click (right+left if you have a 2 button mouse, press wheel down if there's a wheel) to paste.
This is what X does natively. GPM copied X behavior.
For some reason, the GTK devs decided to copy Windows select-copy-paste; X select-paste is still available in GTK, tho.
